Tyson Fury vows to fight for England like Usyk and Klitschko in Ukraine war with Russia

Tyson Fury has praised his bitter rivals Oleksandr Usyk and the Klitschko brothers, as well as Vasily Lomachenko, for taking up arms and joining Ukrainian forces in the fight against Russian patrols.

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on February 24, Ukraine's interior ministry has confirmed that 352 civilians have been killed - however, the official total is believed to be 'significantly higher'. The death toll includes 14 children, while more than 1600 more people have been wounded.

Boxing brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko immediately vowed to join in military combat to protect their country, with both Usyk and Lomachenko now joining to take up arms in the battle against the Russian forces.
